Pocket Scrapping Meets Art Journaling: 2014 in Review
Hi, everyone! Sarah here. 2014 was such a fun creative year for me and one of my favorite creations was my Snap! album art journaling project.For Christmas 2013 my husband bought me a Snap! album. I had one on my wishlist but I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with it. I'd been doing project life for a couple of years and absolutely fell in love with this style of scrapping. At this point I was transitioning to mostly hybrid scrapping. When I started project life in 2012 I knew I wanted to do it hybrid and toward the end of 2013 I began printing some of my digital scrapbook pages at 8"x8" in layers and adding traditional embellishments in place of the digital ones . The only projects that I was still creating totally digitally were my art journaling pages, and I wanted these to be something tangible that I could hold as well. So an idea was born. I would use my Snap! … [Read more...]

Simply Hybrid: Pocket Scrapping
Hi all, Sarah here with another Simply Hybrid post. I've been working on a 6"x8" album for my daughter for her 13th year and I thought it would be fun to show a few different ways that I create my pocket scrapping layouts.I love the bright colors in Just Jaimee's Storyteller 2015: Hunter Collection and thought that the kit would work well with my photos. For this first page I kept it as simple as possible. I printed the two photos at 3"x4" and chose one of Jaimee's journal cards in the 4"x6" size. Without embellishments I had a ton of space to journal which was really nice since I had a lot to say.For this next page I added some embellishments that I printed from Jaimee's collection including a couple of labels from her Storyteller 2015: Mega Tag and Label Pack. I had to edit my journaling a bit to get it to all fit on the label but this allowed me to have some space to … [Read more...]
